his post wasnt very antagonistic you doofus, he was saying "the fleets are for fun and ~morale~ more than they are for killing ADMs"

Okay, I went back and re-read it. I can see that.

An impressive ability to miss the point, but I'm struggling to state it in simpler terms: the imperium won't recover its sov when it gets ADMs low enough that it can sneakily set a few timers. It'll retake its sov - assuming that happens, which I do - when the balance of forces is sufficient that it doesn't matter if there are a few more minutes to hang around on grid, because they'll kill whatever comes along to try and disrupt enotosing. At that point, as happened in the first part of the war in the other direction, they'll contest a couple of timers then the opposition will gently caress off and the rest will be a dawdle.

Edit: as deadtear said, what I was saying about swordfleets is that they're about keeping people logging in. Not logging in is habit forming.

Hey, I copped to misreading your post.

But as querns said, we are taking it back. Just not in large swaths.

Also my phone corrects to querns because I added it to my dictionary.

It was my time regardless. The point being that isk had nothing to do with it.

How so? You did a service (which I assume you enjoyed doing otherwise why do it?) for isk. Goatman was saying that "leadership" didn't include you since you were doing a service for isk.

Although he should probably not respond to Garr as a real person, since that way leads to madness.

I was gonna go find a series of posts from the TMC change days, or that retarded kickstarter showing current members making GBS threads on those ideas and not being blacklisted. But then I remembered who I was responding to so gently caress that :effort: for a crazy person who doesn't deal well with reality.

When I read your out post it came across as "lookit all this poo poo I could do but won't also direkkktorate". This was before I asked people who you were. I didn't even know you were zephyrine on SA at the time.

A straight up "I'm not going gently caress goons" was all your post really needed, instead of an itemized list of poo poo you could have done.

Eh her post was much more this than madposting an evepraisal link (all other context from that episode aside). Taking it as a fuckgoons threat is a bit paranoid.

I do agree that it would be better to lay out the issue rather than tossing out some innuendo and mic dropping. Preserving the confidentiality of the culprits sounds noble but they don't deserve it. Sometimes you need maggots to cure gangrene :sun:

I took it more in-between. Like, I didn't see it as a duck goons threat, but didn't see it as benign either.

I've openly stated that I don't care for turning goons into a brand, and that I'm not at all happy about how our leadership has issues separating their Media Identities via The Shittiest Eve News Website Dot Com and their leadership of GSF. I think this would largely be solved if like our number one and number two guy weren't stakeholders in the big dumb gay media empire.

Then there was the making GBS threads on the stupid kickstarter with its retarded 30k for publishing and editing costs. Or everything with TMC since the redesign.

Ullerrm nailed it though. Specific criticism about specific things are not "punished".

What I assume you call "spicy brown" mustard, or "deli" mustard, is the default best mustard. Except it's just called mustard because that's what mustard is.


I bet you call hotdogs "coneys."

No. Hot dogs are hot dogs. Corney dogs are what you probably call corndogs. Coney dogs around here are made only at Roahks.

I'm going to be the guy throwing poop against the wall a little bit here, but imo our leadership has been disconnected since 2013, and it's being seen in the number of defections. Like it or not the fact that the ex-mouthpiece of our organization is vehemently against what we are now is troubling as gently caress to a line goon.

I can't remember who said it, but i'm gonna quote em.

"It's really easy to speak for the silent majority, they rarely speak up to refute you."

I know some of the directors, and chat with them. I didn't even know Endie was Batcountry until he left and posted his thing. And the fact that he went to join the other bitter ex-girlfriends in PL just kinda sealed the deal. I always like his posts, the man's got a way with words. But I see nothing troubling here. He was the one that wanted the "dirty laundry" aired. Well, now people are being able to say the nasty poo poo he was doing. It's a two way street. If you think someone's being nasty and lovely and say so, don't expect them to continue to ignore the things they feel are nasty or lovely.

You say that like theta wasn't doing homeland defense. Theta isn't dedicated to ratting. We're dedicated to defending the homeland.

Ever think about why so many thetans make isk via ratting? I bet not, otherwise I could smell the gears burning through the internet.

The reason we make our money ratting is because the same skills that shoot rats can also be used to shoot mans.

People get pointed to us as the isk squad because a lot of very rich goons made their isk while in theta. It started with selling caracals to Bob relisters. Also the best way for newbies to get started making money is with us.

The shitler who hang on just for the easy isk tend to make themselves known, and get shat on. One of the biggest flags for this is loving off when poo poo gets hard.

So, for your further education of the goals this squad I've been a part of since it started has is:

thecrate sits to pee.
Help newbies
Murder fuckers who gently caress with our poo poo
Make good isk so we can murder fuckers better
Be gay.
